Event Overview
After initially struggling with low approval ratings, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s popularity seems to be stablising, with an approval rating of over 50% in April. However, the Kishida administration still faces challenges in various areas, including the economy, national security, and intra-party power struggles. This talk aims to look into Kishida's strategy and the possible scenarios that lie ahead.
A networking session will be held shortly after the presentation.
Guests are also welcome, and kindly requested to register in advance.
Nikkei ScoutAsia is pleased to co-organise this event in collaboration with the Ireland-Japan Chamber of Commerce (IJCC), as its Knowledge and Information Partner.
